I had the pleasure of working with Sweet Pickles, a talented drag queen known for her bright, clown-inspired aesthetic and theatrical presence, to capture her unique style in a photoshoot. The goal was to showcase one of her newly designed outfits, creating visuals for her social media, headshots, and promotional materials like posters.
As both the Creative Director and Photographer, I drew inspiration from the timeless beauty of film photography and the dynamic play of spotlights. My aim was to craft an avant-garde yet colorful collection of images that reflected Sweet Pickles’ vibrant personality. A standout feature of this project was my innovative use of a projector as a secondary light source, casting unique shapes and colors across her face to add depth and intrigue to the shots.
This project was a creative exploration into blending the nostalgic tones of film with the versatility of digital photography, resulting in a collection that feels bold, timeless, and true to Sweet Pickles’ captivating presence.
